Offensive excitement wasn't exactly on full display during the Seattle Seahawks' regular-season finale against NFC West division rivals, the San Francisco 49ers. It was a surprisingly low-scoring 13-3 win for Seattle, but it was all they needed, and they did it in their typical, suffocating defensive fashion.
The win gave the Seahawks home-field advantage in the postseason. Additionally, it also secured a franchise-best 14th regular-season win. The Seahawks’ history was made on the night they won their division for the first time since 2020, and Sam Darnold was the quarterback to get them there.
Darnold played well, but it was the Seahawks' rushing attack that led the way and carried the offensive load, while Seattle's defense shut down an explosive 49ers offense in their own right.
